What q House Will Cost.

There is an old saying that fools
build houses and wise men live in
them. Whenever man of moderate
means decided to have a home of his
own, planned to meet individual re-
quirements and fashioned according to
his tasts, he is reminded both by eau
tious and by envious neighbors of this
disagreeable proverb. If he turns to
the pages of any standard "Great
Truths by Great Authors" he will
find recorded such warnings as this:
'.Never build house after you are As;
have five years income in hand before
you lay brick, and always calculate
the expense at double the estimate.
His acquaintance, giving him the BEN
eft OF their own experience in build
ing, will assure him that the actual
cost invariably overlaps the original es-
Inmates. Ii candid architect be con-
suited he will confess that nobody can
tell what house will cost until it is
built. since there are unknown quan-
titles in the problem that cannot be as
ceriained except by actual experiment.
Shrewd contractors will even 90 so far
as to say that the same house cannot
be built second time for the same
money. Indeed, so numerous are the
warnings, and SO dense is the uncer-
talnty respecting the final cost, that
the prudent householder is not TO be
blamed If. after careful survey of the
field, he decides against taking the risk
OF playing the fool for the benefit of
the wise man who may ultimately sue
ceed to his castle in the air.-Ne0 York
Tribune.

Col. Mcclure Wanted q Stake.

A. X. Mcclure OF the Philadelphia Times
is said to be one of the kindest-hearted
most intelligent and most generous of the
noted men Of Philadelphia. He is said to
scorn small things, to be very lavish with
his money, and to be not averse to a
good game OF poker. Not long ago, my in
iormant says, he had been playing quiet
little game with some of his friends, in
which the stakes we're rather high; and had
left the table dead broke. He came upon
the street and walked iauntily along until
he met one OF his millionaire friends.
How are you off for money, to-day?"
said he. 1T is too late for Inc to get into
the bank, and haven't a cent. Can you
lend me little until tomorrow"
Certainly" was the reply, and with
that the man handed Mcclure a $50 bill.
Mcclure took the bill and looked con-
temptuously at it. He then looked at the
man, and held up the bill saying: And do
you call $50 money? | call it only an
ante."-Cleveland Leader.

Hard on PedagogueS.

We notice considerable complaint in the
Kansas papers, more especially in the edu-
cationap columns thereof, OF the 'examina-
ton questions" submitted by the state
board OF education. 1t seems that the
questions require a considerable amount
OF knowledge on the part OF teachers out
side OF the three RS" This is perfectly
right and proper. teacher should not be
,tisfed with barely enough knowledge to
teach children; and these pleas for a low
standard coming from teachers are ex-
tremely discouraging, 1t is safe to say
that when a teacher is found exclaiming
that the examination questions are too
hard" the cornfield needs him more than
the school room. The common schools OF
the state will never be what they should be
when teachers are found to rush into print
with complaints that too much is expecte
OF them in the way OF information. 1t is
questionable il newspapers should allow
their columns to be used by these whimper-
ing pedagogues. Newspapers are supposed
to disseminate knowledge, and allowing
these teachers whose idea OF their calling is
confined to ''cipherin' and lickin'." to fill
the space is like making one hand soil the
other.-Neosho Falls tKan.) Post.

Another Railroad Horror,

Early monday morning heavily loaded
passenger train on the Boston and Provi-
dcnce railroad met with terrible accident
between Roslindale and Forest Hills,
about 1--WE miles out of Boston at what is
known as Bussey Park bridge. The seven
O'Clock train from Dedham consisting of
seven passenger ears and baggage car,
under charge of Conductor Tildcn, broke
through the bridge. The engine and
three ears went over but five others fell
through the bridge to the road beneath, Il
distance Of 30 feet. The last car, which
was the smoker, turned completely over
and struck on the top of the others, all
being crushed almost out of shape. The
three that went over were also crushed.
the cause o the accident is said to have
been the breaking of the bridge, but
whether caused by the breaking of rail
cannot be learned. The train was crowd
ed with working people.
The latest adviccs state that thirty were
killed and fifty injured.
